PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   I don’t know about you, but when the name of the product is Skintegra Lunar Serum Concentrate, so with a reference to Luna or the moon, I assume it is meant for night time use only.     And really the brand says on the website it is ideal for evening use, but after thorough testing I can tell you that…

elf Pure Skin Moisturizer – I am a snob | Doctors Review

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   I am really fuzzy when it comes to moisturizers, so the elf Pure Skin Moisturizer didn’t have it easy convincing me. Not that I have found many bad moisturizers during my years of testing skincare, on the contrary. I have found many that do exactly what they are supposed to do, and most of them do that quite well.    …

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   The Skintegra Melt Milk Cleanser might be called milk, but certainly doesn’t look like one in the bottle. I mean, look at that, what is your first though? Gel – at least that was mine.     Actually my first thought was “Ew”, as for some reason the bottle had leaked during shipping and had product all over it, but even…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   When you have been testing skincare products for years, you can get a little arrogant and look at something like the elf Pure Skin Toner and think “I know exactly what you are made of”. Because, let’s be honest, there are only so many things you can put into your products. That doesn’t mean all products are the same, no. You…

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   I know they have been around for a while not, but before testing the Florasis Floral Care Hydrating Dual Lip Oil, I had never used one of the tinted versions that I think became popular five years ago. There isn’t a particular reason for that, I just had so many colored lip products I needed to use some up before I…

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   Come winter, my skin can get easily irritable – the mixture between dry air, cold air, indoor heating and Tretinoin will do that – so it is the perfect time to test out products like the elf Pure Skin Cleanser, aimed at sensitive skin.     After all cleansing is non negotiable, but also a step that can make things worse…
